i thought running a leaf was costing u money. happy for u really if it helped u commute. a Tesla can live with chargers stationed each 400km, but a leaf wont make it. it requires a charging station each 100km. cool for commutes, but how about trips ? (cool, u already are aware of it) so hopefully more charging stations become built to support the leaf. for places where gasoline costs about 4$/galon and beyond, evs becomes more suitable i agree. where i live we have 3$/gal for gasoline, 2.4$/gal for diesel. probably prices are double this in the us or europe

Very unlikely a tesla would make it with charging stations every 400km - https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2023/08/angry-tesla-customers-sue-firm-over-grossly-exaggerated-ev-range/
